The Broken Props Airplane Club could not fly during the Somerset County 4-H Fair this year because of President Donald Trump’s visit to Bedminster. The club members, however, still parted with valuable life lessons.

Model aircraft flyers throughout Central Jersey are hoping they could one day be allowed to fly while the president is in town.

Whenever President Donald Trump makes a visit to his private golf course in Bedminster, or anywhere else in the country for that matter, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issues a Temporary Flight Restriction (TFR) for a 30-mile radius.

A new era in additive manufacturing, or “3-D printing,” is at hand, with major implications for adoption of the technology and for business models that companies can use in taking the plunge. In the three years since I last wrote about the field for HBR (“The 3-D Printing Revolution,” May 2015), additive’s growing capabilities, together with expansion in both the materials available and the supplier ecosystem, have made it possible to affordably produce a much broader range of things—from the soles of running shoes to turbine blades—often in much higher volumes. The technology provides an unprecedented ability to customize products and respond quickly to shifts in market demand. As a result, it is moving from limited applications, such as prototyping and making conventional machine tools, to a central role in manufacturing for a growing number of industries.

Strategically, that means additive is becoming a full-fledged competitive weapon: It can be used to hold on to market leadership, to dethrone a dominant player, or

Boeing’s announcement Thursday of a proposed joint venture with Brazilian plane manufacturer Embraer gives the U.S. giant much more than a new line of smaller jets.
